The Dàlat at 1200, often shortened to AT1200, is a private country club and estate in the pine-covered highlands of Lam Dong, close to Da Lat’s Lien Khuong airport. Its name refers to the altitude. The appeal for a visitor is the climate and the turf: year-round temperatures of 16–26°C and bentgrass greens, which few courses in South-East Asia can grow. It opened in 2014, hosted Vietnam’s first official KLPGA event in 2015, and calls itself the world’s first country club and private estate to become an accredited Asian Tour destination.
The Dàlat at 1200 Country Club green fees and tee times.
Be clear about access before you plan around it. The club’s booking page states that it is a private course with no walk-in rounds. Members, member guests and estate owners play by right, and non-members are accepted by invitation until the resort is fully running. In practice that means submitting the online booking request with your date, a tee time between 6:00 and 14:00 and whether you need a pickup. The reservation team then replies with confirmation and a price. Golfasian and other operators also arrange rounds. Rates are quoted rather than published, and they include the green fee, cart, caddie, 10% VAT and 20% special consumption tax.
The round, in perspective.
Former Asian Tour player Kyi Hla Han designed the course, with Golfasian also crediting Peter Rousseau, as a par 73 of 7,537 yards. It sits on a 2,100-acre estate between about 1,050 and 1,500 metres up, around a spring-fed lake, with streams, rice paddies and native pines in play. The 1st sets the tone: an elevated tee looks over rice paddies, the fairway slopes left towards a hidden stream, and the same stream crosses 60 yards short of the green. The greens and aprons are bentgrass, faster than the Bermuda and paspalum that visitors are used to in Vietnam, and the club warns that they catch out overconfident short games.

Make the trip work.
Send your request well ahead, especially for weekends and Vietnamese holidays, because confirmation comes back by email rather than instantly. Ask for the pickup at the same time. The club arranges transfers for individuals and groups, which saves hunting for a car in rural Da Ron. The course is long and hilly, so a cart is compulsory and a forward tee is sensible. Pack a light layer for an early start, as mornings above 1,000 metres can feel cool. There is also a golf academy and a covered driving range.
Lien Khuong Airport (DLI) is about 10 km away, roughly a 15-minute drive, and has flights of under an hour from Ho Chi Minh City, plus routes from Hanoi and Da Nang. Central Da Lat is about 30 minutes from the course. The club is in Da Ron commune, Don Duong district.
The estate’s resort is still being developed, and its villas and residences are sold to owners. Most golfers stay in Da Lat, where the colonial-era Dalat Palace Heritage Hotel overlooks Xuan Huong Lake and the Ana Mandara Villas occupy restored French villas. Lakeside resorts around Tuyen Lam Lake, south of the city, are slightly closer to the airport and the course.
Make a trip of it.
Dalat Palace Golf Club, a classic course in the middle of the city beside Xuan Huong Lake, and SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Club on the pine slopes south of Da Lat make a three-course highland trip. Away from golf, Da Lat has the Crazy House, flower farms, coffee plantations and waterfalls like Datanla, and the Langbiang mountain hike to the north.
Find your season.
Da Lat’s dry season runs from December to April, with clear mornings and the best course conditions. From May to October afternoon rain is frequent, though temperatures stay mild all year. The cool climate makes this a useful escape when Saigon and the coast are at their hottest in March and April.
Only by request. The club is private and does not take walk-in rounds. Non-members can submit a booking request online or go through a golf operator, and the reservation team confirms the time and price by email.
How much does it cost to play AT1200 in Dalat?

What is special about the greens at The Dàlat at 1200?
The greens and aprons are bentgrass, which the highland climate allows. They are firmer and quicker than the Bermuda or paspalum greens used at most courses in Vietnam, and the club warns that they test overconfident putters.

About 10 km, or roughly 15 minutes by car, according to Golfasian. Central Da Lat is about 30 minutes away. The club can arrange airport or hotel pickups when you book.
